Summary: Running the example rdoc README code snippet to create a new task does not work
Initial Comment:
I ran the example code given in the documentation's README, to create a new task. However, although a .job file appeared in \windows\tasks, the new task wasn't displayed in windows' Task Scheduler GUI.
On my machine, it appears that an XML file must be present in \windows\system32\tasks for a task to appear in the GUI.
I found some information on the MS site about new features in 'Task Scheduler 2.0' including the addition of an XML format for defining tasks.
Version: win32-taskscheduler 0.2.0
OS: Windows7
Ruby: ruby 1.9.1p243 (2009-07-16 revision 24175) [i386-mingw32]

The latest code will work on Vista and later. Look for 0.3.0 very soon. Closing.

The current taskscheduler code will not work on Vista or later. We're working on a new release that will work on all Windows platforms.

Does seem to be a Windows7 (Or >Vista) problem. The code
sample worked okay on a Server 2003 box.
